Awesome footage. Never have seen or heard of this before. To see them struggle just to pick his head up is something else to see. Really get a sense for how big an animal a Polar Bear is.

Thanks for sharing.

Giant bear. Loved watching him cruising across the snow and Jones making the shot!

Great video, brings back memories of the old Kwikee Kwiver "suicide quiver" for us that remember them.

"Is that Larry D. Jones from Oregon ?"  No.

Wowsers! That's really incredible!

I like how the "avid hunter" comments on it without understanding it was 45 years ago, before the population problem. What a tool.

Larry Jones, not Larry D. Jones of Bowhunter Magazine and TV "fame" was the guest speaker at the Friday night PBS Banquet Dinner in Salt Lake City (2006).  He told of his many hunts in Alaska in the bowhunting pioneer days.  He showed a lot of video.  I believe he was one of the first to do movies of his adventures.  I know he was a super guy who brought a tear to the eye of many there with his love of bowhunting.  I won his video in one of the raffles and for the life of me cannot find it    :banghead:

He made a great shot on a tremendous animal. That would be a little spooky being 20 yards from a bear who likes to eat meat!

Why is it that when ever there is good archery footage there always has to be such crap music thrown over it.  Suppose anyone would notice if I lugged a ghetto blaster into the woods with me next deer season. Same reason I cannot stand outdoor programming on TV, what is wrong with the sound of nature.  Great film ruined by knuckle heads and their knuckle head music once again.

That must be the same guy that shot a bighorn ram in Alberta about the same time, way before anybody else bowhunted them here with much success, pretty neat.

Awesome footage. I have read little bits about him, but never have seen this before.  The guy had a pretty long draw - eh?
Yellow Dog - yeh your right, made me think of the good old Kwikee Kwiver days.  Made me look at my old back of the leg scars again just to reminise.
Hey - did you happen to notice he is LEFT-HANDED ?  Just like me, except well, you will probably never see a film like this of me .......

THAT ANIMAL WOULD CAUSE ME SOME STAINS!   :scared:  
(of the shorts variety)

I just can't believe how huge that bear was. Even pumped with adrenaline Larry couldn't lift it's head. I-N-S-A-N-E. Period.

I thought the music was much better than the rappin' "music" I heard on a bowhunting show yesterday while flipping past it. I stopped for a moment in amazement.
